11/13: Percent Worksheet 2 (Do in class 11/13 when done with worksheet 1)
11/26 and 11/27: Finish your percent problems from previous days. Then do this awesome problem:
Get together in groups of 3 or 4 and tackle the problem below. I want each student to individually write up an answer to this problem that answers each part of the question. Remember, to solve this problem you are going to do some research on the internet.
Try to figure out the information you need and how you could possibly find it. Springer's Jewelers has a holiday special. All of the jewelry bought from now until Christmas is free if it snows on Christmas at Springer's. What are the chances that the jewelry would be free...how could you come up with a reasonable approximation of this? If we are looking at a 10 year period, how many times would Springer's expect to give away free jewelry?
Now let's assume Springer's is trying to figure out a 10 year business plan. They are deciding between a 30% off sale, or their free jewelry when it snows deal. Let's assume they sell the same amount of jewelry regardless of sales idea. Based on what you estimated in the previous part, what plan will make Springer's the most money? How did you figure it out?
